Here are some pics....

Rear arch, passenger side, just see it comming though



Drivers side back door, right on the corner its starting to bubble



Just a thought.... its on the bonnet but prob come from a stone chip. Doubt they would fix that?

Hmmm

I imagined it was worse than that.....altho rust is still rust.

Bonnet area you've prolly no chance as they will more than likely say stone chip.
Rear door they might say its been whacked against summat....again chipped

BUT you dont know until you take it in to vx dealer and ask.....if the 1st says no chance....stone chips....take it to another for 2nd opinion.

I have a few spots coming through on my rear door.

Whats the best course of action with regards to treatement?

 It's a pre-facelift but the same treatment will surely apply

Go for it m8.....take it to vx dealer this week.....dont leave it a day over....dont worry about having no service book.....vx dealer may say no....if stonechips etc....if they say yes....then result!!  :)

VX seem pretty good in getting rust probs resolved....esp on models that they claim that have an extensive anti corrosion measures!  ;)
